(a) List all samples of size 2, and compute the mean of each sample.
(b) Compute the mean of the distribution of the sample mean and the population mean. Compare the two values.
(c) Compare the dispersion in the population with that of the sample mean.
(a)
All samples of size 2 are,
(10, 18) , (10, 7) (10, 11) (10, 6)
(18, 7) , (18, 11) , (18, 6)
(7, 11) , (7, 6)
(11, 6)
The mean of all the samples are
(10 + 18)/2 , (10 + 7)/2 , (10 + 11)/2, (10 + 6)/2, (18 + 7)/2, (18 + 11)/2, (18 + 6)/2, (7+11)/2, (7 + 6)/2, (11 + 6) / 2
= 14, 8.5, 10.5, 8, 12.5, 14.5, 12, 9, 6.5, 8.5
(b)
The mean of the distribution of the sample mean = (14 + 8.5 + 10.5 + 8 + 12.5 +14.5 + 12 +9 +6.5 +8.5) / 10 = 10.4
Population mean = (10 + 18 + 7 + 11 + 6) / 5 = 10.4
Thus, the mean of the distribution of the sample mean is equal to the population mean.
(c)
The variance of the distribution of the sample mean = [(14 - 10.4)2 + (8.5 - 10.4)2 + (10.5 - 10.4)2 + (8 - 10.4)2 + (12.5 - 10.4)2 + (14.5 - 10.4)2 + (12 - 10.4)2 + (9 - 10.4)2 + (6.5 - 10.4)2 + (8.5 - 10.4)2 ] / 10 = 6.69
Population variance = [(10 - 10.4)2 + (18 - 10.4)2 + (7 - 10.4)2 + (11 - 10.4)2 + (6 - 10.4)2 ] / 5 = 17.84
Thus, the dispersion of the distribution of the sample mean is less than that of the population mean.

A golf ball manufacturer desires to compare the distance traveled by golf balls using four unique designs. Fifteen balls were manufactured and each was brought to the local golf course for testing by the local pro. The order of the golf balls hit by the professional was randomized so the pro did not know which ball was being hit. All 60 balls were hit over a short time period to reduce any potential environmental effects. A B C D 1...
